configure commands A–5
raid Optional. Specify the redundancy level that is to be used for the array. The
default value is ADG. Valid values are ADG, 6, 5, 1+0, 1, and 0.
In HP SFS Version 2.2, only ADG (also called RAID6) and RAID5
redundancy are supported. For 500GB disks, only ADG redundancy is
supported.
If the MDS LUNs are mirrored, both of the component LUNs must be
configured with the same type of redundancy.
In any one file system, all OST LUNs must be configured with the same
redundancy type; this does not have to be the same as the redundancy
type configured on the MDS LUNs, although it would be unusual for it to
be different.
In addition, if the storage in an existing file system was configured to have
RAID5 redundancy, you cannot reconfigure the storage to have ADG
redundancy.
stripe_size Optional. Specify the stripe size (in KB) across the disk group. The default
value is 256.
In HP SFS Version 2.2, only the 256KB stripe size is supported.
sectors Optional. Specify the number of sectors per track for the logical drive. The
default value is 32.
In HP SFS Version 2.2, only 32 sectors per track are supported.
disks_per_group Optional. Specify the number of physical disks that each disk group is to
contain. The number of disks must be the same in each disk group. The
default value is 11.
spare_disk_count Optional. Specify the number of disks to be set aside for use in the event of
disk failure. The default value is 1.
force Optional. Use this option to force the configure array command to
ignore the status of the array’s cache. The default is no.
The configure array command performs status checks on the array
before proceeding with the configuration. One of the checks is to
determine the status of the array’s cache. If the cache battery is still
charging, the cache status check can return an error and the configure
array command fails. If you set this option to yes, the configure
array command ignores the error and continues with the configuration.
preferred_server Specifies the server on which the configure array command is to run.
By default, the server chosen to configure the array is automatically
identified based on the server number (that is, whether the server number
is odd or even) and the HBA port number used to connect to the SFS20
array.
rebuild_priority Specifies the priority that is to be given to an array rebuild operation in
relation to input/output operations. This parameter is used when the array
is being rebuilt (for example, after a disk fails or a disk is replaced).
By default, this parameter is set to high.
When low priority is specified, expansion or rebuild takes place only when
the array controller is not busy handling normal I/O requests. This setting
has minimal effect on normal I/O operations. However, there is an
increased risk that data will be lost if another physical drive fails while the
rebuild is in progress. HP does not recommend using low priority on
SFS20 arrays in any configuration.
When medium priority is specified, expansion or rebuild occurs for half of
the time, and normal I/O requests are handled during the rest of the time.
